The court found that Silicon Knights had "repeatedly and deliberately copied significant portions of Epic Games' code containing trade secrets... and used it to create a competing product, Silicon Knights' own game engine".

As a result, Silicon Knights has been ordered to remove all traces of Unreal Engine code from its own engine, and destroy all games and code it had created using that engine.

The court also increased the fine Silicon Knights must pay to Epic from $4.5 million to over $9 million.

Earlier this year, studio head Dennis Dyack teased that it might be working on an Eternal Darkness sequel. Either development on the game has not started or it is using a different game engine, because it is not mentioned in the court order.
